I don’t know about you, but bullying disgusts me.

There is something particularly vile and cowardly about picking on someone because he/she is physically weaker or unable to defend him/herself. Bullies know very well what kind of people to target. They pick on people who are different or who don’t fit in traditional societal norms.

Do you have children? Are they chubby, red-haired, or a bit nerdy? Well then, they might become bullying targets. The phenomenon is probably more common than what you would think. Actually, and to use the USA as an example, tackling bullying issues can become a much-needed societal endeavor and many people — teachers, parents, fellow friends — are putting great effort in trying to make it stop. Many parents are worrying that their children could become potential bullying targets.

Bullying is a pretty widespread issue and a real challenge for many societies, alright. It doesn’t mean that it can’t be stopped and that there is nothing we can do about it, though. Awareness is the first step. Most kids who are being bullied at school are afraid to speak; that has to change. Adults also need to become more aware of alarming signs of bullying.

While we at mma.tv do not condone violence there is overwhelming evidence that, and that’s quite sad to say it, it sometimes is necessary to make bullying stop. Countless videos floating online depicting bullying scenes have shown that more often than not bullies are feeling all tough until they get hit back.

And that’s exactly what happened with the following bully.

The shocking footage starts with the bully violently slapping his victim. Unfortunately for the former the group of teenagers who witnessed the attack decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.

One hard slap and a few punches later the bully is done, dumbfounded. Hard to say he didn’t deserve it.
